U.S.-Chile Workshop on Iron-Copper; Pucon, Chile, November 16-19, 1999

9905942GlassThis Americas Program award will support travel and related expenses for five US scientists and 2 postdoctoral students，to participate in a international workshop on iron and copper homeostasis，to be held in Pucon，Chile，November 16-19，1999. 组织者是路易斯安那州州立大学的乔纳森·格拉斯博士、什里夫波特和马可·T。Nunez，智利大学。 该研讨会将与智利生物学会年会一起举行，旨在汇集对铁和铜运输和代谢的分子方面感兴趣的科学家。 人们注意到，虽然铜和铁的代谢密切相关，但这两个领域的科学家很少交流。 因此，更好地了解铁-铜相互作用将促进铁和铜代谢的知识，并将建立未来的合作研究途径。 除了促进科学家之间的互动和加强国际科学合作外，研讨会还将使美国和智利的科学家和学生了解这一研究领域的最新分子发展。来自美国和拉丁美洲优秀实验室的该领域领先科学家的出席可能会使研究工作更加紧密地结合在一起。除了美国和拉丁美洲的参与者外，研讨会还将聚集该领域领先科学家的全球大会，包括来自欧洲、以色列和日本的科学家。***

9905942GlassThis Americas Program award will support travel and related expenses for five US scientists and 2 postdoctoral students, to participate in an international workshop on iron and copper homeostasis, to be held in Pucon, Chile, November 16-19, 1999. Organizers are Dr. Jonathan Glass, Louisiana State University, Shreveport and Dr. Marco T. Nunez, University of Chile. The workshop will take place in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the Biology Society of Chile, and is designed to bring together scientists with an interest in molecular aspects of iron and copper transport and metabolism. It has been noted that although copper and iron metabolism are intimately related, the scientists of both fields rarely communicate. Therefore, a better understanding of iron-copper interaction would foster knowledge in iron and copper metabolism, and would establish future avenues of collaborative research. Besides fomenting interactions between scientists, and strengthening international scientific collaboration, the workshop will enable US and Chilean scientists and students to become aware of the newer molecular developments in this area of research. The attendance of leading scientists in the field from both US, and outstanding Latin American laboratories is likely to lead to closer integration of research efforts In addition to the US and Latin American participants, the workshop will congregate a worldwide assembly of leading scientists in the field, including scientists from Europe, Israel and Japan. ***
